My DIY repair stand

Not bad. Having never had an original thought I might completely steal your idea one rainy day and make one myself.🙂

My DIY is a rope strung between rafters in the car port. I just hook the front corner of the seat/seat post on it. It sways a bit but it allows me to do all my derailleur adjustments.

Old folding clinchers or singles hung from a beam are good too.🙂

I just need an old skewer for quick release and it will be better, but it does the job.

How about a cup hook in the top/middle of a door frame and a piece of rope. 😎

But I do like his saw hoarse. 😄

Better than a skewer, some LBS sell a bracket/clamp to bolt in the bed of utes and wagons for transporting bikes, the front fork is fixed. 😉

I'll look into that, thanks George

The most important thing is it is functional, cheap and original. GOOD JOB!

Nice one.

I made a similar thing a while ago using an old QR hub mounted on a fence picket with a U-Clamp (like used for pipe or electrical conduit) and then drilled a couple of holes in the picket to mount it to the top of a folding aluminium stepladder using 2 x bolts and wingnuts.

Great looking stand, but I cannot figure how the bike is supported around the bottom bracket area ?Can someone help me !

The rear frame sits snugly on part of an old plastic bottle cage which is screwed into the end of the wooden beam. I thought of using a velcro strap to secure it but the bike is quite secure being held by the fork and ex bottle cage.
